PJHawk, you are such a smart man. Your intellect is incredible!

Great logic, then that means UNI would roll over Iowa this year and we would be lucky to score a point against them. Win or lose it is 90% mental, that is why you can't look how a team played the previous week especially when they played a FCS team.

Our offense generated 16 points through the first three quarters, and a touchdown right before the end of regulation and everybody is blaming the defense? The lack of productivity on offense is not going to get us to .500 this year. I blame 90% of all of the losses last year and the loss this...

Kale will never have the ability to play the 4 position. He is a "2" guard with excellent ball handling skills. It is a perfect spot for him. He has zero ability in the post. What he needs more than anything is strength and explosiveness otherwise he will struggle at the next level. I...

Marc Morehouse has posted a few comments that the coaches really like Boffeli. If I had to guess I would say its him, he could follow the success story of several other high school tight ends who go on to be great lineman for Iowa. He weighed 255(?) when he first got here and is now listed by...

Yes, definitely a racist statement, I am sure not intended. You are implying it is only "black guys". The statement is ignorant. You should have said "players" instead.

I think Boffeli has a legitimate shot for playing time. I remember reading an online article at the CR Gazette about 6 weeks ago and the author indicated the coaches love this kid. Also, I believe he gained 30lbs from his 1st to 2nd year? We assume it should be easy for all of our lineman to...

Completely agree, blaming all of these losses on the defense, and specifically the d-line is ludicrous. Our offense has been sub par except for perhaps two games. I don't think it can all be put on the play calling but our lack consistency with the play of the o-line.

I would have never in my life time have even thought that the answer was our lack of speed at the running back position. That is an easy fix, all we need to do is see where the other 75 teams that have better rushing stats and see where they are recruiting their speedy backs.

I see a pattern, that when the stakes are high, our offensive line struggles. When our offensive line needs to perform in tight situations, we fold. Not only do we fold during our losses, we under perform even when we win. We have the 76th ranked rushing offense in the nation. Although we...

If all it takes is being 6' tall and 230lbs there are a lot of running backs who fit that bill that never see the field. Would Coker have been as good as Robinson would have been in the same situation? It takes more than size and speed to make a running back. Robinson gets little respect...

Agreed, Tobin should be in the mix also. Right now the "next three in" is MacMillan, followed by Koeppel, followed by Boffeli. I have not seen Orne and Hagamann in that group yet. I believe there will be a fierce competition next year between MacMillan and Zus at RT. Mac was brought in...

from what I heard, Vandevelde took a helmet to his hip and should be fine

David Barrent's dad's college roommate is one of the football coaches for MSU, that probably helped with him choosing the Spartans. .

and was Clark hurt also? I did not see him during the actual scrimmage part of the practice.

Any thoughts on the 2 deep guys? It appears Koeppel is behind Ferentz. I thought Clark would be out there today? Boffeli was playing guard and center? What about Nolan MacMillan?
